Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine water, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in sifted flour until a ball forms.
- Allow the choux pastry to cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well until smooth and shiny.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pipe 4-inch logs of choux pastry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Avoid opening the oven door.
- While cooling, whisk together heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and powdered sugar, then add cornstarch and whisk until thick and creamy.
- Once the eclairs are cool, make a slit in the side and fill with lemon cream filling using a piping bag.
- For raspberry glaze, combine raspberries and sugar in a saucepan and cook for 5-7 minutes until broken down. Strain and thicken.
- Dip the tops of filled eclairs in the cooled raspberry glaze and let set for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes
Ensure the choux pastry is completely cool before adding eggs for the best texture. Avoid opening the oven during baking.
